    he didn't pull a tag, he's still nine and turns 10 late nov. so there wasn't much to put him in for. I have a late bull tag to help a buddy on. So he'll most likely hunt Pig in spring 14.

    I'm thinking of getting him either a 243, 257 Roberts or a 7mm-08. I know the 243 is fine for Mule, if the shot is good, my concern is if the shot is not as good, that's why I was thinking of the larger 7mm-08 and maybe shoot that managed recoil load.

    so my 9 year old passed Hunter Safety Ed this weekend and he is all eager to shoot at the range, and I want to feed the excitement. He's shot my little 10/22 a bunch and he has wrestled with my full size 223, but it's tough for him to get comfortable with. he's a 12.5 LOP. Here's a question I'd be interested in opinions.

     

    Buy a youth rifle for him, most have a 20 inch barrel and then add a full size stock when he grows up? But then he has a full size stock on a short barrel. or Buy a youth stock for one of my existing rifle like my 243, and then when he grows I just put the old stock back on?

     

    Talking to a guy at Sportys and he said who cares if it has a 20 inch barrel, it's be a cool little Mtn Rifle. Interesting. But he might like to grow with a rifle that he has confidence from shooting as he grew.

     

    thanks

    my boy used these twice but he grows like a weed and they wont fit. they are the high calf aquaguard boots with lots of life left, they laces are good sole good they really are in nice shape. Not snake proof and I can't confirm aquaguard is waterproof or just water resistant. Will trade for 17hmr or 223 ammo. or $50 bucks

    I'm interested in learning to hunt supported with just a backpack. i'm read a few articles but they were in CO and water didn't seem to be an issue. does anyone have any help or advice on backpack hunting. I'm fit and hunt already doing pretty good day hunts off road but I'd like learn a bit more.

     

    any advice on gear, method, and mistakes learned would be great

     

    Thanks

    So I have a few different rifles, Vanguard, Savage 110, Axis, Thompson Center Venture, and Tikka t3.

    Only the Savage and the Venture has a free floated barrel, and consequently they seem to be the most accurate of all.

    Maybe I'm answering my own question, but is free floating always superior in accuracy? All the other rifles are accurate, but for example my Vanguard starts to jump around when it heats up, and it's tough to have fun at the range if you have to cool the barrel often. also hard to determine the best load to shoot. Any thoughts? Should I have my other rifles free floated and action bed? Weatherby told me it voids any warranty if I float it.

    Lighly used Savage axis 223 bolt action with a great condition Burris Fullfield II x9x40 scope. I had the scope back to Burris last year and they put new adjustment knobs on becuase they weren't clicking crisp, now they are perfect and they completely serviced the scope. It's a great little scope. They rifle was broken in right and shoots super accurately. I have another 223 so this one is up for sale or Trade.
    Great set up for varmit or even javalina, my son smoked a pig with this set last year, dropped it where it stood.

    Would consider a trade for a shotgun field model, no pump or over under, semi auto 12 or 20 no youth. Or Bow package. 29 draw or better adjustable.

     

    I will post pics in a bit

    I'd like to think that I take good care of my rifles,. I clean regularly and store dry and oiled. I dont shoot a lot,ss once a month or so maybe more during season. I recently notices that my 270 and my sons 30-06 have light rust in the grooves. I have brushed them over and over, and used a spray in foam cleaner that sits in the barrel for 30 min and then cleaned again. they both shoot fine. actually my sons 30-06 is unreal accurate. I'm starting to think my 270 isn't grouping that great, but maybe my son is just out shooting me. ha ha.

     

    anyway, should I be concerned with this rust? I mean I assume it's rust, it rust in color and only in the grooves and it's light.

    Any idea on how I can get it out? Just brush and brush and brush some more? Can you pull a brush back through after going from bore to barrel? I was always told to unscrew the brush pull the rod back through and then go bore to crown again.

     

    Thanks for any help

    Like new Stevens 200 Rifle in 270 caliber. With camo stock. Black matte barrel. This has less than a box of rounds fired through it and is in perfect condition. Surprisingly nice crisp trigger with zero creep. comes with base and one inch rings.

     

    Upgraded Limbsaver recoil pad and filled stock with expanable spray in foam, has much better balance and recoil reduction. Doesn't have the that poor Savage Axis feeling hollow stock.
